The Taliban has called on members of the United States Congress to act to release Afghan assets frozen after their August takeover of the country.In an open letter on Wednesday, Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said the biggest challenge facing Afghanistan was financial insecurity, “and the roots of this concern lead back to the freezing of assets of our people by the American government”.“I request … so that doors for future relations are opened, assets of Afghanistan’s Central Bank are unfrozen and sanctions on our banks are lifted,” he wrote, while warning the economic turmoil at home could lead to trouble abroad, prompting mass migration that “will consequently create further humanitarian and economic issues”.
